Re: 2 truck drive train

Would this be like a swiveling chassis like you see on farm and construction equpiment?

I remember a few robots in that past that implemented this idea. I can only find one though, for some reason I'm thinking another one was blue colored.

Just curious.

2002 - 235
It is similar to 235's design, but much more agile. 235's design has a limited turn radius, because their tracks can not all become parallel. The angle of each set of tracks relative to each other will be the limit on the turning radius for 235's bot. In this design, you can make each set of wheels turn 360 degrees to where you want the positioned. With an unlimited reign of wheel position, you can do point-turns, or swerve. It is a very agile system, that I believe is only beat by omni-directional bots.
